Across the entrance of the altered realm of body or consciousness, i.e., of the entrancing threshold that is missed, I may be replaced by a double. 

- Jalal Toufic, (Vampires) An Uneasy Essay on the Undead in Film

Just before crossing the threshold into the undead realm, the protagonist of a vampire film does a double take. The door repetitively activates as the fool juggles their multiple lives, in slapstick. When one door opens, another one closes. “You can come and go and come and go and come and go and come…Look at the doors opening and closing,” as Pedro Pietri puts it in Illusions of a Revolving Door. A door is both a barrier and invitation, depending on who holds the key. And what if the door swings both ways?

Delusions of a Swinging Door, [13] Acts of Time, and The Guide is a palimpsest of past, present, and future performances. A painting is a set piece, beckoning you across an encrypted threshold. A performance offers a container for spending time together (the script is yours to keep). Figure modeling is pedagogy. Participant drawings and video documentation both peephole and foretell.
